+
+- Darian: I am reviewing [Stephannie's menubar collapsing PR](https://github.com/jupyterlab/lumino/pull/489)
+    - darian is review this week.
+    - it is hard to know the size of something before it is rendered
+    - completer that measure width https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/pull/13663  
+- Mike:
+  - should we try to turn on `screenReaderMode` in terminal (xterm.js) or is it fine to keep it off by default
+  - does anyone has time to provide a review for https://github.com/jupyterlab/lumino/pull/477?

+## Agenda 
+
+* [name=Gabriel] Possible office hours question: keyboard shortcuts registered via the JupyterLab command registry are handled on the capture phase, but I have always worked in apps that use bubbling. 
+    * Why are keyboard shortcuts implemented how they are?
+        * chord shortcuts were applied. it is a emacs feature. helps entice emacs users in jupyter.
+        * support chords
+        * css specificity
+        * people implement their own keyboard action when it is not a command. 
+            * use case: a mini list to make up down l r work.
+    * How are keyboard shortcuts handled?
+        * keyboard shortcuts are composed and executed by the command registry.
+        * this happens at the lumino application layer.
+        * [specificity versus matchability](https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/blob/b7c241483ec8562eb2a836ebc86086d04597aa4a/packages/shortcuts-extension/src/index.ts#L51-L79)
+* [name=william] A little motivated by Darian's comment last hour: I'm curious about the accessibility implications of being able to move buttons around in toolbars, reorder menus, etc.   It can be confusing because customization has a scope with web apps that is a lot different than say "photoshop".
+* [name=tonyfast] semantic tags for notebooks and cells
+    * Could a [rendered notebook (static HTML page) be described by aria role=feed](https://iota-school.github.io/notebooks-for-all/exports/Imaging_Sky_Background_Estimation-form-based.html)?

+### Agenda

+- William: I'm curious if you have any thoughts about what happens when the cursor is at the top (or bottom) of a markdown cell and you hit the up (or down) arrow.  It goes to the previous cell instead of "staying in that form element".  Is this bad from an accessibility point of view?  A user complained today about this behavior to me, prompting [this issue](https://github.com/sagemathinc/cocalc/issues/6526).   Same question makes sense for code cells.    (Context: could there be a general "accessibility mode" for Jupyter notebook where the entire approach to navigation is much more standard and accessible, but maybe more awkward for experts?)
+   - User: "I expect arrow keys to only move the cursor in the current form that is being edited."
+    - [codepen](https://codepen.io/tonyfast/pen/NWLpdrB)
+    - [WAI](https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/)
+    - Where to put accessibility configuration:
+      - https://github.com/mozilla/readability
+- Ely (if time): takeaways from Jupyter for Education Workshop
+    * what format do professors provide students?
+    * teaching and sharing formats are often not the same
+    * export to html is common practice
+    extensions help and cause problems
+    * can fix things, but provide more code to be vulnerable to accessibility failings
+    "slides in latex easier to read"
+    * used to students saying "give me the source"
+    * the need for alt text is there, but writing it is hard.
+    * jupyter is the medium for teaching
+- Isabela: Updates on JupyterLab accessibility user research. I'm still in the scheduling phase.

+- Isabela: Updates!
+    -  JupyterLab accessibility user research. I'm still in the scheduling phase.
+    -  Notebook authoring recommendations.
+    -  STScI test two: content write up is on the horizon.
+- Gabriel updates
+    - [Adding automated Axe-core + Playwright testing to PyData Sphinx Theme](https://github.com/pydata/pydata-sphinx-theme/pull/1260)
+    - The other big thing I'm working on is trying to find UX bugs in a somewhat high-risk PR I made against JupyterLab to [remove tab traps from the Notebook area](https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/pull/14115).
+        - One big functional change is that browser focus goes on cell wrappers rather than the notebook node itself. This functional change is reflected in a visual change: there is now a bold outline around the notebook cells as you move focus from cell to cell.
+- [name=Tony Fast]
+    - crash course of links of i presented at pycascades https://tonyfast.github.io/tonyfast/xxiii/2023-03-18-pycascades-ally-talk.html
+    - axecon last week:
+        - ibm equal access checker ci and extension https://github.com/IBMa/equal-access
+            - combines multiple web and national standards
+        - https://www.deque.com/axe-con/sessions/the-accessibility-to-burnout-pipeline/
+- thoughts about jupyter accessibility
+    - cells as forms in lumino
+- Sylvain
+    - More contributions upcoming
+    - What is a good way to collect the work that's been previously done to stop it from getting lost and to help prioritize?
+        - Having all the things that have been done collected is too large for the scope of the work coming up.
+        - Just being responsive should be enough. (Isabela worries about sustaining this but okay.)
+- Mike
+   - [GitHub Copilot X](https://github.blog/2023-03-22-github-copilot-x-the-ai-powered-developer-experience/) (just dropped) got voice control; should I move [jupyterlab-voice-control](https://github.com/krassowski/jupyterlab-voice-control) to jupyterlab-contrib? enabling control via via more modalities would be neat

+### Agenda
+
+- Tony: https://github.com/Iota-School/notebooks-for-all/pull/49 shows progress on a semantic html5 structure for notebook webpages. in this approach, we treat the rendered version of the notebook as an entire interactive web page.
+    - please leave feedback on comments in the pull request
+    - in this structure
+        - the notebook occupies the `main` tag
+            - the each cell is a row in a `table`
+                - the cell is represented by form components
+    -  this approach surfaces interactive elements like links, forms, and overflowing elements to drive focus. it gives a more meaningful navigation experience of rendered notebooks zoomed in, on a screen, and navigated with tabs.
+    -  this representation could serve as a starting point for the proper roles and aria for interactive implementations to improve their accessible experience. 
+- Isabela
+    - Recruiting usability study pariticpants. More information and sign ups at [the Jupyter Discourse topic](https://discourse.jupyter.org/t/participate-in-a-jupyterlab-accessibility-study/18786). Please feel free to share it around.
+    - [Space Telescope Day of Accessibility registration here](https://iota-school.github.io/day_accessibility/). This is a mostly in-person event with some virtual options.
+- Gabriel's updates
+    - [pydata-sphinx-theme #1260](https://github.com/pydata/pydata-sphinx-theme/pull/1260) - my PR to test PST with Playwright and Axe-core is in final rounds of review, should be close to merging. 
+        - Next steps: expand tests to touch more parts of the theme, fix issues found, integrate with CI

+        - [jupyterlab #13577](https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/pull/13577)

+* turns out there are more guidelines beyond WCAG for authoring tools. <a href="https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/atag/"><abbr title="Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines">ATAG</abbr></a> are guidelines specific for accessible authoring experiences. ATAG is part of series of guidelines including WCAG and <a href="https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/uaag/"><abbr title="User Agent Accessibility Guidelines">UAAG</abbr></a>.
+    * [We haven't talked about these since 2021!](https://github.com/jupyter/accessibility/blob/main/docs/community/meeting-minutes/jupyterlab-accessibility-meetings/all-minutes.md#061621-meeting-minutes)

+* [Do No Harm Guide: Applying Equity Awareness in Data Visualization](https://www.urban.org/research/publication/do-no-harm-guide-applying-equity-awareness-data-visualization)
+* Request for a place where we can track/compare different recommendations. Venn diagram-style?
+* Interest in having a list of the status of different guidelines. ie. number out of total number guideline compliance per set.
+* Isabela was working on a JupyterLab accessibility statement - think keeping that updated to report on effort would be a good step

+    * [Draft: notebook authoring checklist](https://github.com/Iota-School/notebooks-for-all/blob/main/resources/event-hackathon/notebook-authoring-checklist.md). This will eventually be submitted to be linked in Jupyter repos as well.
